#lily loves narcissa

[causereyna-artie]

Remus Lupin and James Potter and Lily Evans definitely had a gc trying to understand how to navigate a relationship with cocky but extremely insecure Blacks

My favourite thing about this fandom is that the canon story has so many characters that are just bad guys - no explanation, no questions, they’re just bad. But this fandom takes those characters and loves them and adds backstory and reasons why those characters mad those “bad” decisions because no one is born a “bad guy” right? Not Reggie, not Barty, not Bella, not even Tom :) And the idolized and well-renowned characters like Dumbledore? We take them down a notch, because no one is born perfect either. I love that. It makes it all feel so much more human and approachable and accepting.

Reblog if you feel the same! I feel like this aspect of the fandom needs some love :)

there's a thing in the summer evening, when the sun goes down and the moon is high and full in the sky, cooling everything off just slightly, where the surrounding neighborhood kids come out and play baseball in a makeshift baseball field and everyone gets really into it. like, really into it. they have to bring their own battery operated lights for the field, they have bets running on the different teams playing (a few dollars, baseball cards, packs of gum, coins, stickers, yo-yo's, single cigarettes (how'd those get in there?) sunglasses, watches, candy, you name it).

and no adults allowed. not that they encroach on the fun, but the first game starts at one in the morning so who's got the time?

and since sirius left to live with james, regulus is shut up in the house and has to hear about the great baseball extravaganza from barty in a "your brother is on the james potter all-star team i've got $50 in the pool, we have to go to the tournament" kinda way. and regulus is like "my mother would actually kill me and explicitly forbids it but i'll think about it."

but barty shows up just after midnight on game day and starts throwing rocks at regulus' window to get him to come out except he runs out of small rocks and moves to bigger ones and gets impatient and throws the big rocks harder and then oops, one went right through a window, except this house isn't regulus' house. regulus' house is two doors down, it's just hard to see in the dark. so barty moves two doors down and finds some smaller rocks and starts over again until regulus comes out. scowling, but he's out.

and they start the long walk to the makeshift baseball field and it's hot and the air is sticky and sweet with honeysuckles. and barty and regulus talk. and barty buys regulus boiled peanuts and crackerjack from a kid's makeshift concession stand and they sit in the makeshift bleachers side by side with their knees knocking together. and barty manages to make sly remarks that make regulus laugh. and regulus makes last minute bets and watches the game, and starts getting into it, and barty smiles at the way he's on the edge of his seat, brows furrowed in concentration. barty thinks he even sees regulus clap once, and it's fun watching regulus, more fun than watching the game, even.

so fun that barty says he'll get regulus the next night to watch the next two teams play. regulus agrees, and they make this a routine and barty thinks, finally.

but then it's james' team that's up next and james walks up to the plate and does a trick with his baseball bat with a grin so-wide and a wink, and regulus' eyes are as wide a saucers for a brief second before he catches himself but it doesn't matter. barty's seen it, and knows instantly he's made a mistake. he's signed himself up for a summer of looking at regulus look at james. and he's doomed.

Lily: I am 100% straight

Remus: Marlene with black eyeliner

Lily: I am 80% straight

Remus: Narcissa Black in quidditch uniform

Lily: I am 60% straight

Remus: Emmeline Vance with a high ponytail

Lily: I am 40% straight

Remus: Mary in her pink dress and Pandora with braids

Lily: Okay, I am NOT straight!

Should I do a version with Marlene?

[adh-james-version]

Who cares about canon?

I just wanted to say something, why do we always have to put so much emphasis on canon. Like I get why but in the grand scheme of things- canon is just another fanfic it’s just the one that started it all.

Who cares that it was published!? Who cares that these characters died in it!? Who cares that these characters weren’t as important!?

Stop saying “oh that wasn’t canon” as a way to burst peoples bubbles and ideas or AUs. the only thing separating the bedrock fics of this fandom like “ATYD” and “Art Heist, Baby” is the fact that they’re not published/monetized.

[jewishregulus]

which characters do u hc as jewish? and also would u like to elaborate. id love to hear more about ur hcs. <3

i just got jumpscared by more catholic trauma hcs so let’s get into this!!!

i have three main jewish hcs that i care about very deeply and make content for primarily : those being remus , lily , and the black family ! (wolfstar invented jewish love…..) however i do have other hcs i simply enjoy more passively : dorcas , hermione , lucius , occasionally marlene , and mary! i used to hc pandora as jewish but that was before she was a rosier to me and the rosiers are not jewish in my head but i might sway back towards it 🤞

i have elaborated on jewish lily and the jewish black family in the past so perhaps it is remus lupin’s turn ….. remus is plagued by survivors guilt which i think is really added to by his jewish experience. we are a people who are raised to celebrate our survival and perseverance. i think this would make for an interesting storyline regarding remus and his complex relationship to religion after becoming the Sole Survivor in a way of his friend group …. (obviously sirius is still alive but he’s in azkaban so LOL) … i think in many ways remus would struggle with religion and find comfort in g-d at certain points and then pull back and be more questioning at others. “if there is a g-d he will have to beg for my forgiveness “ (if you use that specific quote for catholic trauma or whatever you should die and go to hell btw) …. he is constantly alienated from the muggle world and viewed as a monster in the wizarding world. his story is very reminiscent to me of certain jewish stereotypes (secret shapeshifters who drink the blood of christian babies blah blah blah) and i think it could be very interesting to see remus battle w these preconceived notions of himself in two different worlds, begging to be understood and viewed as a person in each of them. i like to imagine lyall as a rabbi in many modern aus ! despite remus’ battle w religion i think in the end he feels rlly connected to it and does pray actively and such : because i dislike the trope of religion always being traumatic and harmful especially with jewish characters in which our religion is consistently demonized by the public for evil practices …. this is also why to me remus would only date / marry jewish people bc it’s simply a custom! jewish wolfstar FTW!!!!!!!

my remus is mizrahi, my lily sephardic, and the black family is ashke as hellllllll yall seen them ….. both of remus’ parents r jewish and the black family whole is the most ancient and noble house of judaism, while my lily is patrilineal. i think her n petunia r half sisters and while lily is jewish petunia is not, which creates a divide in their relationship!!

in terms of who i think is actively religious : i think lily remus regulus andromeda and narcissa are , whilst sirius and bellatrix are not particularly , atleast not to the degree it matters to lily remus and regulus!

one of my favorite things abt my jewish hcs is the fact that james potter is just oddly surrounded by jewish people despite not being jewish ….. he loves us fr ……. like all of his closest friends are jewish save for peter 😭 its bc he’s hindu fr like that’s cousin

but my most important jewish marauders thought is that there is another world out there in which hogwarts is a jewish boarding school and i think it’s the timeline we all deserved ….❤️

Imagine Narcissa telling Draco all of the family lore as he grew up. Like, Draco knew more about James and Sirius than Harry did himself, it was crazy.

Narcissa was also super convinced that Sirius was innocent, so during his third year Draco was like "yeah Sirius Black was a murderer, fucking whatever, I know the goddamn truth"

He also knew about Sirius dating Remus and was like "I love learning about boggarts professor but have you ever been in love with a convicted murderer by any chance" and everyone looks at him like he's fucking crazy

I imagine the lore dumps going like

"did you know your uncle Regulus dated Harry Potter's dad for a year when he was 15?"

"wHAT TELL ME EVERYTHING"

and they both end up sobbing because James broke Reg's heart and none of James's friends knew that they were together and he left Regulus for Lily and--

Then Draco is mad at James Potter and therefore mad at Harry too. So he uh

"pOTTER."

"fuck you want now Malfoy"

"YOU DAD WAS A FUCKING ASSHOLE FEELING PLAYER DUMB BITCH WHO LEFT MY UNCLE HEARTBROKEN FOR SOMEONE WHO LOOKED LIKE GIRL WEASLEY! no hate to your mom, tho, she did no wrong"

"....... what"

[moonytoasted]

marauders dream blunt rotation:

sirius, james, evan, pandora, voldemort himself, bellatrix, narcissa, emmeline, and marlene

[marylily-my-beloved]

Marauders era headcanons (love language edition?): P1 the girls

Pandora would make the best DIY gifts you've ever seen, and add a love letter into it, like she would put in the effort. She would need a partner who puts in the same effort, but with acts of service, because she loves being taken care of in the simplest ways

Lily would 100% be a physical touch girlie, simple touches, anything touches really, and everything. She would need words of affirmation in her daily life, like she craved validation, even if it was just a cute compliment or anything, because that's how she grew up, she needs either academic validation or you know loving words.

Dorcas would always spend quality time with her significant other, doing anything and everything, whether they're playing quidditch, or like just crying next to each other, Dorcas would make sure she's hanging out with her significant other. But she would be the person who would definitely love to be on the receiving end of gifts, like getting any gifts would just make her fold and crumble into a little heart.

Mary would be one for acts of service, both giving and receiving. Her idea of showing love is doing whatever you can for your significant other, whether it just be doing chores and helping them with simple stuff, or doing something that will help them in the long for many things, but she would expect around the same level of commitment or like help. She's the kind of person to fix up your broken car as an act of love.

Narcissa would 100% be the kind of person who loved using words of affirmation as her way of showing love, because she just wanted her significant other to feel loved and appreciated through words, and she wanted the same.

Alice would be another physical touch girlie, but would also love showering her partner with words of affection and stuff. Like she would always be hanging around them just lightly touching them anywhere, just to show them her love, and this goes both ways. Alice would love simple touches, but most of all probably just her partner hepling her out with stuff, because it makes her feel much less useless

Marlene would be the person to try and give her partner all her love, in every way possible. Extravagant gifts, food, anything bc she loves with all her heart, but she would expect some stuff back. She likes quality time the most, because she can truly connect with her partner, and like bond even if they're just sitting in silence listening to music.

[narcissablackmylove]

Narcissa: It's pretty cold outside.. wanna hold hands? We should stay close.

Lily, *blushing*: Okay.

Andromeda: ........ It's fucking summer.

[wafflinglumos]

I need to fix my writer’s block AND art block, so recommend me a character with a headcanon of yours or really anything, I will draw almost anything
